Hi,
Our client is adamant that they do not want applications running as the
root user.
The rsyslogd process is not a problem because it comes as a daemon process
and is packaged as part of the OS install.
However, when they see the omprog program running, it's flagged as an issue.
Is there a simple way to run the omprog program as non-root? I tried using
the su command but something goes wrong with the stdin and the program
doesn't get the expected input. Also, when the rsyslogd is restarted after
a config change, the 'su' program is killed but the program isn't killed.
binary="su user1 -c /home/user1/bin/program.sh"
running with the following is good except that program.sh shows up as a
root owned process.
binary="/home/user1/bin/program.sh"
Thanks.
